I = A*(log(1 + (Tm-Ta)/(234+Ta))/33*s)Where I = current in Amps, A = cross sectional area n circular mils, Tm = melting temperature of the material in C, Ta = ambient temperature, also in C, and s = time in seconds.

Te melting point of copper is about 1083 C

Simply put, the wires in the system would simply melt due to that much amperage being put through the lines (way before you could put out the whole area code).

But if some one builds one and gets it to work, please let me know. ;-)

I don't know much about conductivity or that temperature melting point crap in your equation, but if Copper melts, wouldn't it make sense to build it using an equally conductive but much stronger material? I do know that copper isn't exactly that durable, whereas something like steel may be able to conduct the same amount of Amps or Ohms or Watts or whatever. Just a thought, not really sure, just thought I'd throw it out there.
